Goblin Samuraiposted in Classic Fantasy
@Mark Dewis In terms of sheer amounf of dedicated parts, yes - but for me the quality of the female soldiers kit is somewhat lacking, and the models need alot of TLC to get them looking good. the F...

@William Redford I like those conversions, and think they have potential - but I'm not gonna lie, it's the female torso on the samurai body that really gets my attention. It works way better to my ...

@Caratacus Oh! and as for what game, presently a buddy and I are ceveloping some RPG-lite/ co-op game rules using a D10 system, so these are mostly intended as baddies for that as we gear up for a ...

Why do reptillian overlords offer no reptillian overlords?posted in Reptilian Overlords
@Jay H. Ugh. T o each thier own, and I'm glad you enjoy the style - but I live in Taiwan and am rather saturated with it, and rather like the more realistic proportions of WGA and some of the other...

The Great Lizard Hordeposted in Classic Fantasy
@Caratacus Well, to be fair I like the thought of using the spears that come with the kit as harpoons/javlins. (I say harpoon as it looks to me like there is some kind of rope wrapped around them.)...

The Great Lizard Hordeposted in Classic Fantasy
@Blutze I have! But honestly my little project is something of a conscious effort to get away from GW Meso-American influences. It's the biggest reason I took the shields from the Kairic Acolyte ki...

Do you hear the earth tremble at sound of clawed feet upon the earth? Do you see the clouds of dust kicked up by the swish of tails? Tremble then, human, at the coming of the Great Lizard Horde of...

Why do reptillian overlords offer no reptillian overlords?posted in Reptilian Overlords
@Caratacus I'm not crazy about Mierce Miniatures. I know some people adore them, and while the designs for some of the New Atlantean stuff is almost good - but over the top in a very J-RPG way that...

Why do reptillian overlords offer no reptillian overlords?posted in Reptilian Overlords
@William Redford I'm not familiar with Rift's Atlanteans, so I cant comment on them - but for me something at home with King Kull, Conan, and 'Hadon of Ancient Opar' would be good - you know ...

Why do reptillian overlords offer no reptillian overlords?posted in Reptilian Overlords
I think thier models are great, and am excited that WGA is working with them. However, the fact that WarGames Atlatnic offers no Wargames Atlanteans, and Reptillian Overlords offer no Rept...

D&D part-works minisposted in General Chatter
I go back and forth alot on which scale I like better, and to be honest some of my favorite minis are kit bashes of two or 3 manfactureers.

Dark Maenad kickstarter 2- Coing in Septemberposted in General Chatter
Oh wow! That's way better than I ever would have though! So many kickstarter based companies nowadays seem to want to offer models comparable in size to stormcast that I nearly always give up any h...

Dark Maenad kickstarter 2- Coing in Septemberposted in General Chatter
How tall are these models? Are they going to mix in well with Wargames Atlantic and NorthStar, or are the more in line with Nu-GW (32-45mm) figs?

Knights, Men at Arms, and Rangers oh, my.posted in Classic Fantasy
That's totally fair! But I think its best to kit bash now, rather than just sit and wait. I'm certaimly glad i did so with my lizardmen, for example! And if there comes a day when an upgrade sprue...

With all your ideas, I honestly feel like you're best served by breaking out some craft knives and start kit bashing and conversions rather than wait for someone to release your dream kit. I forge...

D&D part-works minisposted in General Chatter
On a different note, I have come to conclusion that if this project were to take off the range cannot possible launched without a "Wargames Atlantean". It's just too perfect given the company name.

@Brian Van De Walker Hate is a strong word, but I get what you're saying - the NorthStar kits are really pretty great, and i'm a big fan of them myself, but they arent without thier own issues. Pri...

What plastic ancients miniatures we need?posted in First Empires: From the Rise of Akkadia to the Fall of Alexander
Sign me up for Trojan, Mycenaenas and Sea Peoples! But some others I would love to see are Assyrians and -perhaps controversally- Sumerians.

@Hudson Adams I love, love, love the idea of a three body pack - as it could give the progression from low-medium-high level characters. If you go down that road, please make a decent barbarian/gl...

for what it's worth, I think the heads/faces on Wizards 1 and 2 (so male and female) as well as the male knights are fantastic. - The knight's set even has one of my favorite head bits currently ou...

@William Redford I would get them for that purpose, but sadly I have no use for the bodies and guns. I'm hopeful that a "tribal woman" set that I pitched in one thread or another a while back...

Knights, Men at Arms, and Rangers oh, my.posted in Classic Fantasy
I strongly agree with the gap in female figures - I'd love to see some more out there, as even just one or two multi parts kits would vastly increase the range of possibilities out there. Right now...

That's true - I think I just trend towards the conservative in thought about smaller games companies, and what they can invest in. But WA now having thier own means of production should help that a...

The Trojan War / Iliad / Odysseyposted in First Empires: From the Rise of Akkadia to the Fall of Alexander
I will sometime! But as it's a Hellenistic/Etruscan style helmet rather than a Bronze Age Aegean helm it would derail this thread some to post pics of it ;)

So, let me first start off by saying I really like the over-all design of the lizardmen. I like the asthetic, and I like how they are a very different take on the concept from Games Workshop. It's ...

Without any doubt, Hector, seconded by Sarpedon. Why? Because Hector is the human heart, the mortal man at the heart of the Iliad. He's not a demi-god like Achilles or Aeneas (or Sarpedon, for th...
